Prologue.
Sigh.
Everything in Alice Academy was going well, no incidents had happened, no breakouts, no kidnapping, nothing particularly fascinating happened that week and all was quiet and peaceful, to an extent that is. Why? Because Alice Academy is almost never quiet or peaceful, there were times when it was almost quiet, almost, only on very rare occasions, and all because of the unique students, various creatures and animals, inventions and the staff who resides within the campus of Alice Academy.
It was a warm Saturday morning and Mikan was still her cheerful and happy self. She had decided to have fun with all her friends today in Central Town and maybe get something nice to send to her grandfather since she got promoted to single star and saved up her money this time. As Mikan made her way to Hotaru's lab she spotted Natsume sitting against a tree reading one of his mangas. Curious and wondering why he wasn't getting ready to go to Central town, Mikan stopped in her tracks and finally deciding that she had enough time before arriving at Hotaru's, she started in a different direction and wandered over to Natsume. Clearly intending to question him about it.
"Natsume?"
Mikan had cautiously called out as she neared him. He, however had taken one look up from his manga and went back to reading having discovered the identity of the speaker as one of the people he does not want to talk to. As Mikan had gotten near enough she began speaking again as if Natsume hadn't blatantly ignored her call earlier.
"Why aren't you getting ready to go to Central Town?"
Mikan questioned him, apparently curious, even though this was a guy who was mean to her on a daily basis, and the boy who had seen her panties when she first arrived at Alice Academy. For a while, Natsume didn't answer her or perhaps he just chose to ignore her presence and is fervently hoping that she'll somehow just leave him alone and go away. As if. As Mikan is Mikan she'll never leave until she gets what she wants, unless of course, she stomps off mad, or gets distracted by something else and just forgot about it, it's unlikely that she'll leave him alone. Natsume had apparently come to that conclusion and decided to answer her anyway, just so she would go away.
"Not going." His reply was short and simple. It was obvious that he doesn't want to talk to her at all right now. Alas, Mikan being Mikan was, simply put, was oblivious, and she continued on with her questioning anyway.
"Why?" Mikan inquired.
"I don't want to." He replied as he finally looked up at her, from his book, and fixed his ruby eyes into a glare, and directed it at her. Seeing that she had a confused look on her face. Clearly saying that she didn't believe that anyone wouldn't want to go to Central town and was in clear denial that Natsume really didn't want to go to Central Town today.
"But! You should go! It's going to be fun!" Mikan protested, hoping to change his mind, she started rambling on about how wonderful Central Town is, and why he should go.
"Shut up Polka-Dots." Natsume apparently got fed up and annoyed had retorted and rudely interrupted her speech as he got up. Mikan stopped and blinked at him.
"It's just Central Town, I can go another time." Natsume paused, "Or. Are you trying to ask me on a date little girl? If that's it, the answers: NO, since I don't want to be seen with an ugly girl like you." Natsume bluntly said and promptly turned away.
By the time Mikan realized what he just said about her and she was about to say something back, but he was already walking away from her and was a fair distance away before she could have retorted. Mikan huffed and started to stomp her way to Hotaru's lab, having decided that there was no use in convincing him, after all it's his loss. Noticing the time, and figured that she took a bit too much time talking to Natsume, she started to sprint just so she wouldn't be late, in the previous direction that she took before she decided to take a detour.
Mikan In Wonderland
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
Hotatu's baka gun was what Mikan met when she rushed into the room ten minutes late and preceded to launch herself at Hotaru for a hug and greeting. Yuu was there already, having arrived early, he had sweat-dropped at the sight. After a few minutes Yuu finally deciding that it was enough and time to help Mikan when Hotaru wasn't showing any signs of stopping.
"Ne, Hotaru-chan isn't it e-enough already? We still have enough time, right?" Yuu cautiously asked and stuttered slightly. Truth to be told he was slightly nervous, every time this happened. Hotaru didn't answer but eventually ceased fire on poor Mikan.
"What made you late?" Hotaru asked monotonously as she pocketed her gun in her pocket for later uses. While Yuu helped Mikan off the floor where she crumpled after the barrage of shots from Hotaru's baka gun. Mikan then feebly thanked him before answering Hotaru's question.
"Ano," Mikan hesitated as two pair of inquisitive eyes turned towards her waiting. "I was talking to Natsume." Mikan simply stated.
"Mikan-Chan, what were you talking to Natsume-kun for?" Yuu asked tentatively, although curious.
"Oh! I was asking him why he wasn't getting ready to go to Central Town! But he ignored me, so it took a lot longer than expected but I got an answer out of him before he started getting all rude and insulting me." Mikan rambled but before she could continue on any longer Hotaru interrupted her.
"Is he going?" Hotaru asked as she turned back towards Mikan.
"No, he isn't, come to think of it he didn't tell me his reasons for not going either, oh well, I tried to convince him, but-" Mikan was again interrupted but this time by Yuu.
"Mikan-chan, you said Natsume isn't going to Central Town?" Yuu asked with a weird expression on his face.
"Eh? Of course I did Yuu-kun! Weren't you listening?" Mikan exclaimed, actually confused by Yuu's question.
"Ano.. Mikan-chan," Yuu hesitated before continuing, "Isn't Natsume your partner?"
"Yes, he is, I thought you knew that Yuu-kun?" Mikan replied apparently oblivious of her current situation. Hotaru decided to break it to Mikan.
"You aren't going to Central Town." Hotaru dully stated as she ate a candy bar.
"Nani! Why can't I go!" Mikan exclaimed as she looked a bit distressed at the thought of not going to Central town.
"Mikan-chan, don't you remember? Jinno-sensei, said that you aren't allowed to go to Central Town unless Natsume is with you at all times during your trip?" Yuu said before continuing, but before he could Hotaru had cut in and said, "Simply put, since Natsume is not going you are not going."
Mikan, who was listening, paled slowly through Yuu's explanations and Hotaru's statement. As she slowly absorbed the information, she then started to launch herself at Hotaru while starting to bawl her eyes out. Hotaru's reflexes however were to fast and had her baka gun out and pointed at Mikan in an instance. All of this happened with Yuu standing awkwardly on the sidelines, hopelessly watching the scene play out.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
Mikan In Wonderland
"Bye! Have fun! "
Mikan shouted while waving to her friends on the bus. Her friends on the bus waved back and shouted that they'll be back soon and to have fun while they're away. Mikan sadly watched the bus head off into the distance until she could barley see it anymore, before heading off to her room to do some homework that she hadn't had time to do the other day. She hoped that this task would shed some of her remaining hours while she waits for her friends to comeback from Central Town.
Earlier, when after the rest of her friends heard the news that Mikan couldn't go to Central Town, each-except Hotaru- had promised to get her something while they were in Central Town, since Mikan couldn't go. They even asked her if she would be fine on her own, and some of them had offered to stay and keep her company. Mikan being Mikan, didn't want her friends to stay and not go to Central Town since they had been looking forward to going the past few days. Mikan laughed it all off and said that she would be fine and that they didn't have to get anything for her, and said that they didn't have to stay behind with her either.
Mikan sighed as she looked out the window of her room, she wished she hadn't said that, it was selfish, true, but she was lonely, but her friends deserve to go and she won't hold them back just because she couldn't go.
She was already bored, and she had finished her homework in less than three hours. A first. It must have been the fact that her friends weren't there to keep her company, and the fact of being bored with nothing to do and no one to talk to, that she threw herself into her work. By the time she finished all her homework it was nearing Lunch and still plenty of time before the others get back from their trip to Central Town.
Having nothing to do she decided to wander around Alice Academy's campus, at least until lunch. With that thought Mikan had exited her room. She spent a few hours when she roamed the halls of Alice Academy's elementary division wing, until she memorized every single hallway, location of almost all the classrooms, the bathrooms, and the exits. She soon got bored of the building and decided to go somewhere else. Mikan continued to wander, nearly all morning, around places like the gardens, the track field, bleachers, the area around the Alice Academy Elementary, until she spaced off unintentionally, she probably lost herself in her strange thoughts and due to boredom.
Mikan didn't stop walking when she spaced off and thus was not unaware of her surroundings, until later when she almost got herself lost. Mikan's thoughts were soon broken when she suddenly tripped over a rock.
"How did I get here?" Mikan asked herself.
Mikan then sighed as she stood up and dusted herself. She then noticed her surroundings and where she was heading. The Eastern Woods, unlike the Northern Woods where Mikan had visited the first time when she was given a test to prove herself when she first came to Alice Academy, She had never been in the Eastern woods before. She also noticed the fact that she wandered quite a distance from the school as well, and when she checked her watch, she realized that it wasn't even lunch yet and she has hours to go before then.
Mikan then turned her eyes towards the Woods, and stared at it while contemplating her decision of whether or not to enter it. She didn't really have anything to do right now, she had finished all of her homework, and all her friends are in Central Town…
But entering the Eastern Woods? Was that a really wise decision? Was she really that desperate? Though, she didn't really hear any bad rumours about the place, so it must be safe? Right? With that Mikan confidently started towards the Eastern woods.
Mikan In Wonderland
Snap.
Mikan had continued to walk in the woods for nearly an hour already. She wasn't that bored now, as she gazed in astonishment at her surroundings. Everything was peaceful here, much different than Alice Academy. There were birds chirping, animals frolicking around the trees, and sunlight bursting through the openings between the leaves. It was like a scene from a fairytale story.
Just then Mikan heard the sound of rushing water. She strained to hear more clearly, just to prove to herself that she wasn't hallucinating. After all she didn't eat much this morning in her excitement and anticipation of the fact that she was going to Central Town that day. Only she isn't now because of that jerk. Now that she thought about it, she didn't really eat anything since breakfast, and she was getting really thirsty because of all the walking she did. So she tried to follow the sound of the river, while trying hard not to trip over the roots of the trees while she was at it.
She didn't know how long it would take her to find the river; it felt like hours instead of half an hour, to her right now. During that past half-hour, Mikan lost count of how many times she tripped because of a rock or because of a root, and she was slowly growing tired. Luckily, the sounds of a river were more and more prominent as she walked further in the direction from where she thinks the sounds were coming from. After forcing herself to keep walking she finally arrived at the river.
Smiling at the fact that she could rest now, Mikan took in the sight of the river and finally started to walk towards it. When she got to the edge, she took in her reflection and the different kinds of fishes swimming in it. Before she cupped her two hands together in the water to take a small drink and to freshen up after her long walk. Wiping her hands on her school skirt for a lack of a towel, Mikan then went to sit down against a tree under the shade for a break from her little journey.
Mikan stretched her limbs after she stood up, deciding to walk upstream. Surely there was a lake or pool somewhere, after all where was the water coming from? As Mikan steadily walked upstream alongside the river, she thought of the Eastern Woods. She liked it here in the Eastern Woods, it was quiet and peaceful, and the air was fresh. The scenery was nice and it was perfect place for having a picnic with her friends. Plus Ruka-Pyon would like the animals and vice versa.
"When they get back, I'll tell them about this! Then we all could go on a picnic together!" Mikan exclaimed in excitement as she started to walk a little faster having forgotten about lunch already.
Mikan In Wonderland
Splash.
Mikan washed her face as she kneeled beside a pool of water. She had reached the pool in less than an hour, by speed walking, but she was utterly tired when she reached the pool. It was very sunny and hot today too, Mikan guessed that she probably sweated a gallon by now after her walk. As Mikan finished wiping her hands and face with her shirt, she gazed at her surroundings.
There was a small waterfall at the end of the pool and stepping-stones residing in the pool probably for people to jump from one to the other to get to the other side, Mikan thought. There were also a few willow trees hanging their branches above the waters edge too. Overall it was a magnificent place, a perfect place to hang out, eat snacks, read, and have fun swimming with her friends. Mikan walked towards a tree and settling herself in the shade, as exhaustion loomed over her. One last thought made their way into her mind.
It's a perfect place for a nap.
